Merafhe to address factionalism in Francistown

The vice-president who is also a central committee member was sent to the second city December last year after allegations of improper conduct were leveled against some BDP operatives.

The Francistown region is known to have been divided with some BDP councilors on the A-team whilst others are die-hard Barata-Phathi factionalists. There had been reports of sabotage where some councilors were said to have defied a party caucus decision on whom to support for the mayoral position.
